How to Obtain Temporary License Plates (Placas Verdes) in Luna: Downloadable Template

If you have recently purchased a vehicle abroad or are waiting for the final registration process to be completed in Spain, you cannot legally drive on public roads without valid plates. In Spain, "Placas Verdes" (Green Plates) are temporary registration permits issued by the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) that allow you to circulate legally for a limited period. This guide provides you with the essential steps and a ready-to-use template to request these plates if you are operating within the jurisdiction of Luna.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Luna

To process your application for temporary plates, you must interact with the local DGT provincial headquarters (Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico). Since Luna is located within the province of Zaragoza, your administrative point of contact is the Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico de Zaragoza.

• Step 1: Fill out the template provided below with your personal and vehicle details.
• Step 2: Schedule an appointment (cita previa) through the official DGT website or by calling 060. You cannot walk in without an appointment.

Additional documentation required

Submitting the request form is only the first step. To ensure your application is successful, you must attach the following documents to your file:

• Proof of Identity: Original and photocopy of your DNI, NIE, or valid Passport.
• Vehicle Documentation: Original technical sheet (Ficha Técnica) or the equivalent foreign registration document (Permiso de Circulación original del país de origen).
• Proof of Purchase: Invoice or sales contract proving ownership of the vehicle.
• Proof of Payment: Receipt of the DGT fee (Tasa 1.1).
• Insurance: Proof of temporary insurance coverage for the vehicle.

Expert Tip: Always keep a stamped copy of your application as proof of submission. If you are importing a vehicle, ensure all foreign documents are officially translated if they are not in Spanish, as the DGT officers in Zaragoza may reject documents that are not clearly understood. If you are unsure about the technical specifications of your vehicle, consider visiting a local gestoría in Luna to assist with the paperwork, as they can often expedite the process significantly.
